Nothing, it is Awsome. My needs are changing and I'm looking for the most bang in the smallest package that will still do everything I need. I'm probably going to sell my trusty nv610 as well. There aren't many clubs left where I live, and the ones that are still around are tough load ins as it is. From having owned a pair of twins in the past, I know that one would fit the bill. I actually prefer the time of the six10 and nv610, as well as my bag end cabs.
I wish I had a need for the Six10 as well... Massena is only a few hours a way and that is a great deal, but I just don't know what I'd do with it. I get told to turn down all the time with my Four10..............
I just want an Eight10 so I don't have to lean over to tweak my amp.
I've been meaning to put mine on a stand, but now that there's 80 pounds of meat on top of it, it'll probably never happen.
This is just a feeble excuse to post this pic in this thread as well.

Thats a great set-up. Only thing missing is a B string on your sting ray
I see the words, but I do not know what they mean.
Thinking of selling my Bergantino HDN210 and buying a Barefaced Two 10. I like my Bergantino and it's a beautiful piece of kit, but I just sort of miss the way my little Ampeg SVT210AV felt. I mean, if I'm being perfectly honest, I don't think I ever got a better sound than I did on that cabinet, but unfortunately, once I moved up in wattage, the Ampegs just weren't up to it. The thing is, I love modern technology, like lightweight cabs and Class D amps, but I also mainly play passive Fender-style basses with flatwounds, and I don't really go for a hi-fi sound. I like the loud clarity of Bergantino, but I feel like I lost something in the mean time.
It seems like the Two 10 is the only cab out there that is sort of like a more high end SVT210AV. Has anybody ever compared the two cabs? Thanks!

I have that bass, in that color. I wasn't a big MM/SR fan, but I really liked it in the shop, and I got a great deal on mine, and I've ended up using it more than I expected I would.
Me neither, until I accidentally got a SBMM Ray34 at an unbelievable price. I couldn't pass on the real deal when I stumbled across one locally, reasonably priced to boot.
I'm sure your rig sounds great! Barefaced cabs (esp. larger ones) sound especially fine with a five-string bass. Your 4-stringer does not have a B string. Find someone with a fiver and use it to play through your rig. You'll understand what the B adds!
5 string basses just sound bigger than 4 string basses because you have more resonance. Notes just pop on a 5-string that don't on a 4, even if you rarely play lower than E. This is either good or bad, but I prefer 5 because I have small hands and 5-strings allow me to play more vertically and less horizontally.
I had a pair of 210av cabs for quite a while and like you I really enjoyed them and swore I would never let them go. Then I bought a pair of Barefaced Two 10s. I have now sold both the 210avs. The Barefaced 10s were so much ahead that the Ampegs just weren't seeing the light of day, they go deeper and louder if you want and take more power. IMO a single Barefaced One 10 easily matches a 210av. A Barefaced Two 10 does everything the Ampeg could do but does it all so much more and better. To be fair, of course the BF is considerably more expensive than the Ampeg which is still a great cab for the money.
In other words, you have the same problem as most of us in this thread - it's just too tempting to want to buy them all.
True that!
So... ahem... if anyone who buys a switchable Two10 with silver grill cloth decides they need some cash instead, I'd be interested.
BAREFACED SIGHTED! Scott Devine just put out a vid on "Why 6 String Basses suck", there's a Barefaced right on the corner here
No excuse needed. Feel free to post pics of that rig anytime! drool
My Eden 1x10 that paired with my WTX-264 is farting out now, something happened. I've only had it for a year. If I replace that cube, which is useful for small rooms and practice, you guys know which brand it's going to be...
More likely though I'll just get a super midget to pair with my BB2 and use it standalone for smaller situations. I've been talking about that for a while, but right now my money is sunk into a little Fodera project

In the pocket n' thumpy. So woody, so greasy...
It's -6° Celsius. I'm sitting in my garage drinking a can of ice cold Molson dry beer, getting ready to mix some Durabond to patch my walls and that made me laugh out loud. Nice one buddy!Nice to see that you've narrowed it down to virtually anything!
I'm mildly depressed. Retail therapy plans for a pair of SM's is kinda tempting.
